P-V Diagrams & Cyclic Processes

A system goes from AA to BB via two processes II and IIII as shown in figure. If ΔU1\Delta U_1 and ΔU2\Delta U_2 are the changes in internal energies in the processes II and IIII respectively, then

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Internal energy is a state function: ΔU\Delta U depends only on the initial and final states.
  2. Both processes start at A and end at B.
  3. So ΔU1=ΔU2\Delta U_1 = \Delta U_2, answer (b).
